INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
This chapter describes the procedures for the electrical and
mechanical installation of the CFW-08. These guidelines
and suggestions must be followed for proper CFW-08
operation.
The location of the inverter installation is an important factor
to assure good performance and long useful life for its
components. For proper installation, we make the following
recommendations:
Avoid direct exposure to sunlight, rain, high moisture and
sea air;
Avoid exposure to explosive or corrosive gases and liquids;
Avoid exposure to excessive vibration, dust, oil or any
conductive particles in the air.
Environment conditions:
Temperature: 0 ºC to 40 ºC (32 ºF to 104 ºF ) - nominal
conditions. From 40 ºC to 50 ºC (32 ºF to 122 ºF) - with 2 %
current derating for each 1 ºC (1.8 ºF) degree above 40 ºC
(104 ºF).
Relative air humidity: 5 % to 90 % - non-condensing.
Maximum altitude: 1000 m (3,300 ft) - nominal conditions.
From 1000 m to 4000 m (3,300 to 13123.3 ft) - with 1 %
current reduction for each 100 m (328 ft) above 1000 m
(3,300 ft).
From 2000 m (6561.6 ft) to 4000 m (13123.3 ft) - a voltage
reduction of 1.1 % every 100 m (328 ft) above 2000 m
(6561.6 ft).
Pollution degree: 2 (according to EN50178 and UL508C)
The figure 3.1 and the table 3.1, provides external mounting
specifications, and external fixing holes of the CFW-08.
